WHY RIGHTSIZING IS FISCALLY IMPORTANT
WHY RIGHTSIZING IS FISCALLY IMPORTANT
MAPS enrollment has dropped 35% in the past 15 years. State funding is directly tied to enrollment numbers, therefore the district budget has been reduced by approximately $5 million per year as a result of decreased enrollment
MAPS needs to balance its budget for long-term sustainability and cannot continue to operate and maintain the same building square footage with decreasing enrollment and revenue
Enrollment = Capacity concerns at our buildings
Middle/High School is currently operating at 49% capacity
Blesch Intermediate School is currently operating at 45% capacity
Central Elementary School is currently operating at 150% capacity
Rightsizing = Operational savings
For this Phase 2 Referendum, we will focused on rightsizing the district's buildings to a single K-12 campus to take advantage of operational savings – approximate savings to be $500,000 each year
